If switched on, sends first five letters of the SHA1 hash of the entered
password to HIBP's API, which then returns all matching hashes in their
database of breached passwords. If we find a match, tell the user they
need to pick a different password.
Questions to answer - leave it like this, or if the count is very low, allow it to go through anyway? (Read the count section of https://www.troyhunt.com/ive-just-launched-pwned-passwords-version-2/ for background)
Future work - could on login check password against this and alert the user to change it if present?
